From the minute we got there to the minute we left it was exceptional 😁 .. we booked it last minute as our regular hadn't got room availability not knowing what we'd turn up to. However, when we pulled up we instantly fell in love. We were greeted in the Pub adjacent to the Hotel itself where whom I believe was the Manager came and had a chat with us.. he told us where to go walking, pointed out little shops/dining places and was so very informative. From there we checked in to the Hotel which inside the room was absolutely spotless and although we brought our 2 young Children with us (4 in the room, 3 beds) the room still felt cosy, not cramped at all. We did have a little mishap with our room key cards which we laughed about afterwards but still, from the minute the owners found out about this issue they again couldn't do enough for us and put things right instantly. We came over finalizing our Wedding arrangements and are now actually booking up again for the day and following day of our Wedding as absolutely everything about it.. hotel, pub, scenery, information, staff we just can't think of a better place to spend our Wedding Day/Night plus future stays when visiting Family. These people are truly amazing and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone.. can't wait to be back in September. Thank you to all at the Woodcocks!! 💖

The hotel was absolutely gorgeous throughout! The staff were incredibly nice, stored luggage for us and made checking in and out easy. The bed was comfortable and the room was nice and quiet. It's not often that you can look out the window and see a castle! We loved the convenience of the location and our tapas dinner at Ole Ole next door was wonderful (reservations encouraged). There were lots of quality options at the continental breakfast (beautiful pastries, breads, sliced meat and cheese, fruit, yogurt, and more). We would return in a heartbeat!

FAQs about hotels in Lincoln

The Glory of Medieval England

Lincoln was a powerhouse of medieval England and retains amazing monuments from that period. In the Uphill district is the castle built for William the Conqueror. Inside its an original copy of the Magna Carta and its ramparts offer fabulous city views. Across the cobbled square which houses the large Christmas market is huge Lincoln Cathedral whose unusual façade features 2 tall towers, while another at its centre overlooks the Bishop’s Palace.

Connecting the cathedral quarter with the Downhill district is aptly named Steep Hill, a narrow street lined with unique shops and historic buildings including the Jew’s House. Even older are the Roman Newport Arch, Mint Wall and the well on Bailgate.

This road slopes down to meet the River Witham at High Bridge, a stone-arched structure with a half-timbered building atop that is the oldest of its kind in England. Lincoln boat trips depart from the Brayford Pool just west.

Another monument is the 18th-century Ellis Mill, opposite the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. The Collection combines an archaeology museum and art gallery, while The Lawn has a conference centre and the Joseph Banks Conservatory, displaying artefacts he brought back from adventures with Captain Cook.

Booking.com’s Lincoln accommodation covers luxury waterfront hotels, guest houses by the university and cheap apartments near the train station.

    The Cathedral and The Castle ,Nice walk down the steep hill to the Town Centre ,the walk and ride bus is good picks up outside the Lincoln Hotel and the Cathedral takes you down to the centre,. The area Bail Gate where The White Hart hotel is situated ,is a nice area to walk around with shops and cafes .

    Lincoln is a wonderful experience for all.

    Lincoln is a wonderful experience for all. History buffs can see the Magna Carta in Lincoln Castle and learn about how the city played an important role in democracy. There are many restaurants along the waterfront or in the city center to enjoy after a day at the shops. I spent a week there mid August and the weather was wonderful and the city is very walkable. It’s truly a gem for singles, friends, and families of all ages.

    Lincoln is a fabulous place to stay.

    Lincoln is a fabulous place to stay. We really enjoyed our trip. The cathedral is magnificent and the tours offered are excellent. We didn't have time to visit the castle but heard from other guests that that was excellent too. We loved the individual shops and quaintness of Steep Hill but if you have mobility issues you would find it very difficult to walk up it. There is plenty to see in Lincoln and a 2 night stay wasn't enough. There is an open top bus which you can get that takes you to the various sites if you are short of time . We loved the many eateries in the town and had 2 excellent restaurant meals in the evening and plenty of coffee shops to enjoy. Lincoln is an excellent choice for a short stay and the cathedral is a 'must see'. The restaurant in the cathedral is excellent too.

    This is the second time I have spent a short stay in Lincoln...

    This is the second time I have spent a short stay in Lincoln. It has some good attractions with the cathedral offering a number of different tours. The castle is also very interesting, just watch out for the wind when you are on the wall walk, as it comes from nowhere and is very strong. There are also a couple of museums, a lovely garden and a busy highstreet with lots of independent shops and restaurants. Well worth a visit

    Old part lovely interesting buildings and shops. Cathedral truly magnificent loved the stained glass windows. Lots of places to eat as well as an excellent butcher cheese shop and coffee shop. Down by the river gives a different aspect with big stores banks etc . There are delightful art galleries and lots of green spaces. The arboretum an unexpected large open space on a city, Lincoln easy to walk round albeit hilly in parts!

    Lovely, comfortable, clean hotel with very friendly and welcoming staff. Our room overlooked the Brayford wharf area which is attractive both night and day. The hotel is situated a short walk from a large number of bars, restaurants and Lincoln City Centre itself. The breakfast options and quality are absolutely top drawer, the choice is formidable. This was our third mini break here this year and it certainly won't be our last.

    The Ibis was very good, the Location was poor, on an industrial estate, waited ages for a bus, nothing came, drove the train station firstly it didn't look like a train station, Hykeham???, no train came ended up going into Lincoln by car ,not good I didn't want to drive in a city that I had never been in before. But the hotel itself was very good for the money, just wish that it was nearer to the City.
